The Sukoterapia concert is a journey into the world of the sounds of instruments designed to calm our nerves and relax our body and mind. The melodies come from different parts of the world. They have been collected over the years and the concert will feature compositions based on them by Maria Pomianowska. The sound of the string chordophone has been combined with the human voice since its inception. Therefore, the Sukoterapia concert will also include singing. Sukoterapia is joy and hope, a musical bandage for today.
